Matthew 3:11-12
“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. “His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor, and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Jeremiah 15:7
I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways.
The air comes thru in wisping waves
Father’s winnowing grain today.
Separating all His way
Here blows the chaff ….it sifts away.
Light is it no meat in tow
CHRIST is calling for depth you know
Put away the old strongholds
Much engraved in hearts and souls.
Shallow is His body’s breath
Feeding still on milk instead
Connection with His heart is dead
His Spirit denied to manifest.
We’ll see now soon a line is drawn
On either side the light will dawn
His Word misused for traditions ways
“Look again” for what’s misplaced.
Resemble not we do His Church
We’re very far from truth..He hurts
The Power declared by His own heart
Is called but dead and speaketh not.
But, Oh, He shall not wait too long
For He has blown the trumpet call
For all to speak of what they’ve heard
Shrink not back and loose His Word.
Hear the wind? It’s on its way!
Dust thy feet from man-made ways
He’s coming now to sift as wheat
The Winnower separates the unbelief.
From Wikipedia…Wind winnowing is an agricultural method developed by ancient cultures for separating grain from chaff. It is also used to remove weevils or other pests from stored grain. Threshing, the loosening of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, is the step in the chaff-removal process that comes before winnowing.
In its simplest form it involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff, while the heavier grains fall back down for recovery. Techniques included using a winnowing fan (a shaped basket shaken to raise the chaff) or using a tool (a winnowing fork or shovel) on a pile of harvested grain.
Winnowing can also describe the natural removal of fine material from a coarser sediment by wind or flowing water, analogous to the agricultural separation of wheat from chaff.
